Perhaps he thinks that in his field hallucinations don't matter. Perhaps he's right. I remember a famous elephant that beat the stock market. (I think it was also done with other animals.) Also see "A Random Walk through Wall Street"
I'm all in favor of space travel, but that's not going to solve the social problems on earth, and we don't yet have the ability to run a small self-sufficient stable society in an off-earth environment.
I do support space habitats, but I tend to think of that as a "next century" (or after the singularity) kind of thing.
What a large war does is kill of a large proportion of the most aggressive young males. It's one of the traditional ways the current crop of alpha-male primates keep control.
Nope. They apply everywhere, everywhen. If something is unstable in an environment, it tends to disappear from that environment. If it's stable (by definition) it tends to persist. And the environment is all those things it's interacting with.
I'm not saying drop ALL competitive entrance exams. I'm saying you should have enough of the "Junior College-equivalent"-level schools so that anyone with a pulse and the money can take first-term courses.
Leave the stress of competition for people who want to go to a mid-or-higher-teir school.
What is the value of a Junior College 2-year degree over a trade school that just grants a "career diploma"? In the United States,a 2-year degree with good grades can let you transfer into a low- or mid-teir 4-year school even if you barely passed high school and would've failed your entrance exams if you had taken them at age 18. You probably won't be able to transfer all of your classes, but you'll likely be able to enter as a sophomore.
Exampe: Teenager who COULD graduate in the top quarter of his class and score in the top quarter on SAT/ACT or other entrance exams is a lazy goof off. He barely passes high school and has a McJob for a few years. After a few years, he realizes he wants to go to University. Thankfully, he's in a country with 2- (and 4-year) community colleges. He enrolls in his local community college, gets straight As, then transfers to a mid-tier 4-year school. He completes his Bachelors, again with straight-As. He scores well on his graduate school admission exams and gets a Ph.D. from a decently-respected graduate school and goes off to have a rewarding, upper-middle-class career.
If he lived in a country where "if you don't enter college right out of high school, tough on you" was the way things were, MAYBE he would've gotten his act together well before high school, but more likely he would've been stuck with low-paying/no-college-required jobs his whole career. That would be bad for him, but it would also be bad for society.

Sadly, this will probably be the end of the line for OCLP, since it's specifically Intel-only: no PPC (very old) and no "Apple Silicon" (not old).
It's going into the oceans, just so the combination of pH fuckery and increased warming turns the world's oceans into an tepid acidic brine.
People always confuse Humans and Life. Yes, Life will continue with increased CO2 levels and higher temperatures. But humans will have a hard time. For some reason, Life in general is not so important to me as humans are.
(*) In general, dicotyledons will grow better than monocotyledons at higher CO2 levels. With the exception of potatoes and manioc, our staple crops are monocotyledons. Right now, we don't have crops that yield the same amount of carbohydrates per acre as our staple crops. That's why they are so important to us.
It sounds like they need more universities.
IMHO, anyone who graduates from high school or equivalent should be able to get into a bottom-end-of-the-selection-scale college or university if they have a pulse and a bank account, no entrance exam required (if they are straight out of high school, they may need to spend a few years in the workforce to build up that bank account). Whether you can proceed towards graduation depends on how well you do each term.
If China doesn't have enough low-end colleges ("Community Colleges" or "Junior Colleges" in the USA), maybe they should create some.
That said, college isn't the best option for everyone. Your country's equivalent of a trade school, the military, or going straight into the workforce should be real options (not just the "you are too [dumb/lazy/insert pejorative term here]" for the other options) for high school graduates.
So what you're saying is the success of Alpha-Beta pruning depends on the evaluation function. Yeah, that's correct. Getting the evaluation function, though, can be a real problem
Actually, the warning was first sounded the warning was Svante Arrhenius in 1896, when he determined the UV absorption properties of CO2 and came to the pretty fucking obvious conclusion, based on chemistry and thermodynamics, that if you increase CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, you will inevitably, as a basic function of physics, increase energy absorption.
So we can add chemistry to the list of things you're deliberately ignorant of.
Fuck, is stupidity and willful ignorance now viewed as a virtue? Or is it just sociopathy?
How tall? Most people can do 3-ring towers consistently. I don't know anyone who can do eight rings. (I've also seen versions with 4 pegs, but I don't know what that does to the math.)
It was applied, you just need a slightly more basic definition of evolution. Rather than "survival of the fittest" consider "survival of the stable". With that slight modification it handles the evolution of planets, reproducing molecules, life, species, stars, etc. And "the fittest" was always defined in terms of being stable in a particular environment.
